The International Labour Organization (ILO) concluded its 350th session, agreeing on living wage definitions and strengthening social justice initiatives. The ILO's Governing Body endorsed a living wage definition as "the wage level necessary to afford a decent standard of living for workers and their families, taking into account country circumstances and calculated for work performed during normal hours." This decision emphasizes the importance of empowered wage-setting institutions, social dialogue, and collective bargaining in achieving living wages.
